Notability?

Is there any argument for the subject being WP:NOTABLE? Nearly all the cites sources are publication by him. As far as I can tell, there is nothing about him. Even the IPA page has no substantial information (and would not, in general, be accepted as a RS). There is a short and very unspecific author blurb in the CEDA brochure, but that again is not a RS. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 16:43, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you have a point okay. there seems to be no interest in him from a secondary source and he doesn't seem to satisfy any notability criterion. Dmcq (talk) 17:08, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on the fence. He's arguably notable as a corporate director. But if even DGG thinks he might not be notable, then he's probably not notable. Shock Brigade Harvester Boris (talk) 17:01, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The basic criterion for notability of people is "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." I can't see a single secondary source talking about him in the article. Do his books even have independent reviews that mention something about him? Dmcq (talk) 15:25, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
